There are several measures we can take to protect ourselves and our loved ones from cancers.
Protection from cervical cancer
HPV (human papillomavirus) is known to be the cause of 99% of cervical cancers. It is possible to say that this cancer is almost completely preventable, thanks to the HPV vaccine found as a result of long studies for this purpose.
Women can also be screened for cervical cancer with a regular Pap-smear test from the age of 21, so that precancerous cellular changes can be found and intervened.
